At night, Shang Gongwan asked Leng Mei not to go back.
Stay in the palace and rest for one night to yourself.
At first, Leng Mei felt that there was a difference between the king and his ministers, which should not be the case.
So he declined.
But Shangguan Wan said: "Yilan, you also know that in my heart, you will always be my sister. Even if I become the so-called emperor of Daxia, the friendship between the two of us will still remain unchanged."
After hearing these words, Leng Mei finally stayed.
late at night.
Leng Mei and Shangguan Wan were both lying on the bed.
You know, Shangguan Wan is the empress of Daxia.
But even so, Leng Mei and she still talked and laughed.
It’s like I’m back to the time when we were playing together.
During this process, Shangguan Wan asked Leng Mei curiously: "Do you really like that Xue Mu?"
Leng Mei nodded: "I like it."
Although Shangguan Wan is the emperor of a country, he has no human affairs.
Ever since I can remember, I have helped my father handle government affairs.
On weekdays, the people I get along with are women.
There were few men around.
If there are any, it's probably just the two troubled brothers.
So Shangguan Wan is also very curious, that is, what does it feel like to like someone?
So she asked: "Do you like him because he is handsome?"
Leng Mei shook her head: "Actually, Mr. Jiang asked me to deliver a letter to him at the beginning, lying that it was left to him by his father. The purpose of that letter was to leave Jingzhao Mansion and test his ability to stay in Jingzhao Mansion. The government can survive.”
"At the beginning, I also admitted that he was somewhat handsome, but at that time, I only wanted to help His Majesty complete the great cause of unification. I had no other intention. But gradually,"
Speaking of this, Leng Mei's face couldn't help but turn red.
Shangguan Wan was a little confused: "What happened next?"
"Later, in the process of getting along, I found that he knew how to care about others. Even if he couldn't see clearly, he would try his best to take care of the people he loved." Leng Mei explained shyly.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan gave a positive evaluation: "For you to admire a man so much, he must have something special about him."
"Then when did you fall in love with him?"
"It should be that thing."
"which one?"
Shangguan Wan didn't look like an empress at all at this moment, but looked like young girls gathering around to gossip.
Leng Mei replied sheepishly: "That night, he was practicing for a breakthrough and needed to be released, and then I entered the room."
"You just handed yourself over like this?!" Shangguan Wan's eyes widened.
Leng Mei shook her head: "No. I will use my hands to do this."
As he spoke, he pointed to his small mouth.
Shangguan Wan was a little confused: "Hands and this? What does it mean?"
The red kite on the side laughed silently.
Shangguan Wanze frowned, "Hongyuan, I think your skin is itchy."
Hong Yuan immediately knelt down and said with a smile: "Hong Yuan knows that I was wrong, and I hope your majesty will forgive me."
"Why do you all know but I don't?" Shangguan Wan didn't understand the reason.
Leng Mei complained: "Your Majesty, wait until one day you find a husband who you want, and you will understand."
"I will not fall in love with a man casually." Shangguan Wan said arrogantly: "Is there anyone in the world who is worthy of you?"
"Your Majesty is talented and intelligent, and he is one of the best among men. Naturally, no one can match him." Leng Mei laughed.
"You haven't told me yet, why are you using your hands?"
"Your Majesty, go to sleep."
"Say it."
"Go to sleep"
All night long, Shangguan Wan was wondering what was going on.
Finally, she seemed to figure it out.
So it turns out that you can do it with your hands and mouth? !
Thinking of this, Shangguan Wan suddenly felt a little sick.
She also didn't expect that her sister Yilan would be willing to do such a thing for a man.
[I am the king of a country and will never allow such things to happen in the future. 】
[No, there is no man in my dictionary. 】
This was Shangguan Wan's decision before falling asleep.
Xue Mu came to the Shenhua Division early the next morning.
After he walked in, he lowered his head and returned to his room as quickly as possible.
The reason for doing this was not to want to meet Nangong Xue.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Xue walked out of the backyard.
When Nangong Xue saw him, she immediately shouted: "Xue Mu."
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Xue Mu had to pretend to say hello: "Sister Xue'er, good morning."
Nangong Xue asked: "Did you eat the fish yesterday?"
"I" Xue Mu couldn't bear to expose it, so he had to say: "Eat it."
"Eat?" Nangong Xue was obviously a little surprised, but at the same time, she also frowned: "Did you really eat it?"
"I really ate it." Xue Mu nodded.
"Is it delicious?" Nangong Xue asked doubtfully.
Xue Mu said again: "It's delicious."
"Are you sure it's really delicious?"
"tasty."
Xue Mu then made an excuse: "Sister Xue'er, if nothing happens, I'll leave first."
With that said, he ran away.
After he left, Nangong Xue said to herself: "Is he not only blind, but also his taste is different from ordinary people? Or is it my problem?"
After thinking about it, she decided to go to the kitchen again.
Planning to make another one.
Xue Mu returned to the room, and Zheng Jun brought Zhou Fu and others to find him.
"Master Xue, the fields in Nanhua County have been divided."
"Yeah, well done."
"Now, every household in Zhangjiazhuang, Nanhua County, can have a little more land."
Zhou Fu also sighed: "Yes, if there is more land, they will be less likely to be hungry."
"Thanks to you, the fields of every household in Zhangjiazhuang have been re-measured. On behalf of the villagers in Zhangjiazhuang, I would like to thank you." Xue Mu expressed gratitude.
Zheng Jun shook his head quickly: "Sir, look at what you said, we work for the people, this is what we should do."
Hearing this, Xue Mu suddenly recalled a certain great man.
He recalled yesterday afternoon, when the mother and son were fighting to eat the burnt fish, he suddenly felt that this Daqing Dynasty was becoming more and more corrupt as he understood it.
In the afternoon, Xue Mu came outside the city specially.
He poured a pot of wine in front of the graves of Zhang Baisheng and his wife.
Not long after, Liu Xiaodao came.
He looked at Xue Mu and asked cautiously: "Sir, why do I feel that Huang Haigui bribed so few officials?"
Xue Mu didn't speak, just nodded.
Then he explained: "It was Commander Lu who didn't let us investigate. As for why he didn't let us investigate, of course he has his own reasons."
"Then I understand. These officials are just like a nest of snakes and rats. None of them are as good as that demon sect." Liu Xiaodao complained.
Speaking of the Demon Cult, Xue Mu thought of Murong Dai.
So he asked: "Xiao Dao, do you know where the base of the Demon Cult is?"
"I don't know about this. If I had known, I would have sold this information to the imperial court." Liu Xiaogao chuckled: "The imperial court has spoken. Once the demon sect's base is discovered, if you report it, you will get ten gold coins. I If I report it, I will definitely not have to worry about it for the rest of my life.”
Xue Mu did not tell Liu Xiaodao that he was also a member of the Demon Cult.
People like him who are not very involved in the world usually only get news from the court.
How can someone who is really messing around in the world not understand the relationship between the demon sect and the imperial court?
Finally, Xue Mu bowed to the graves of Zhang Baisheng and his wife.
Then he left.
Later, when he returned to the city, Xue Mu went to publish it.
Sure enough, the publisher, Shopkeeper Zhou, had been looking forward to it for a long time.
When he saw Xue Mu coming, he immediately said anxiously: "Agui, why did you come just today? Didn't you agree to deliver manuscripts twice every seven days?"
Xue Mu smiled and apologized: "Shopkeeper Zhou, I'm sorry, I've been busy lately."
"What can happen to a servant like you? I thought you and your lady went to other publications to publish. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep for several nights." Zhou Qingshan patted his chest.
Xue Mu replied: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, my lady and I are both people of our word. We will never shirk our promise to publish "Dream of Red Mansions" with you."
"Okay, okay, what about today's latest manuscript?"
"Here it is."
With that said, Xue Mu took out two manuscripts from his arms and handed them to Zhou Qingshan.
Zhou Qingshan looked at these two manuscripts as if he had found a treasure.
Place it carefully.
Then he took out the silver coins from the cabinet.
This time, the amount of silver was more than the last two times combined.
"Is "A Dream of Red Mansions" selling so well?" Xue Mu asked.
"That's natural, Agui, but you don't know that now not only rich ladies, but also young men from various families are coming to buy." Zhou Qingshan said with a proud face.
Xue Mu smiled but said nothing.
Then he turned and left.
Originally, he planned to go to Xiao Qingyue's place and tell her stories.
After all, with such a monthly salary, I have to contribute.
But as soon as he walked out, a woman's voice said: "Sir, do you still remember me?"
Xue Mu listened to this voice.
It seems a bit familiar.
"Is she the girl who threw the pot for me that day?" Xue Mu asked.
"Exactly." Qing'er nodded, and then said to him: "My lady happened to be at the teahouse opposite. She happened to see you walking into this publishing house, so she asked me to come here to look for you."
"So that's it." Xue Mu asked curiously, "Why is your young lady looking for me?"
"I'm afraid I won't know until I meet the young lady." Qing'er explained: "Master, please come here."
"good."
Xue Mu originally thought that it was just two destined people who happened to meet each other and just went up and said hello.
But unexpectedly, when Meng Zhi on the second floor saw it, he asked the eldest princess in surprise: "Your Royal Highness, how did you guess that Xue Mu would be publishing today."
Zhao Ruoli said calmly: "He wrote "Dream of Red Mansions". The publishing boss told me to submit the manuscript twice every seven days. It has been several days since the last submission, so I guess he must be here today." The manuscript has been handed in.”
"Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is indeed smart. I will definitely not be able to figure it out." Meng Zhi shook his head.
Zhao Ruoli smiled: "Although you are the commander of the Forbidden Army, you still need to read more books on weekdays. Being able to be literary and martial is the key."
Meng Zhi nodded, cupped his hands and said, "I obey."
"Okay, stay in the dark, don't let Xue Mu find out."
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess."
With that said, Meng Zhi turned around and left.
Not long after, Qing'er took Xue Mu to the second floor.
"Miss, my servant has brought Mr. Xue." Qing'er replied.
Zhao Ruoli nodded, then looked at Xue Mu aside, stood up and said, "Mr. Xue, we are destined to meet again."
"Yeah, I didn't expect us to meet again." Xue Mu laughed.
Although it wasn't time for him to open his eyes yet, just by this voice.
As well as the convex and curved figure in the sight insight.
He could also conclude that Zhao Ruoli must be a beauty.
Zhao Ruoli gestured politely: "Mr. Xue, please sit down."
"I wonder what Miss Zhao has to do with Xue?" Xue Mu asked.
Zhao Ruoli smiled: "Meeting is fate, does it mean that something has to happen before I can invite the young master?"
"Of course not." Xue Mu said with a smile: "If it was because we chatted for a while after meeting, then Xue would not be so nervous."
"Oh?" Zhao Ruoli asked, "Master Xue is not good at talking? I don't think so."
"Not really, it's just that I believe any man would be nervous if he could chat face to face with a girl." Xue Mu explained.
Zhao Ruoli laughed: "Mr. Xue, you are interesting. I think you are not bad at talking, but you are very good at talking."
She then pretended to ask: "By the way, I just saw Mr. Xue entering the publishing house. Do you want to buy books? But, Mr. Xue's eyes..."
Xue Mu was stunned for a moment, then replied calmly: "Sometimes books don't have to be read, they can also be read."
"That's true, but I don't know which book the young master wants to buy?" Zhao Ruoli continued to ask.
Xue Mu could only say: "A Dream of Red Mansions."
"This book is indeed good." Zhao Ruoli confirmed.
"Ms. Zhao has seen it too?"
"That's natural. Now in this capital, who among all the ladies has not seen Dream of Red Mansions?"
Unintentionally, Zhao Ruoli raised Xue Mu's identity again.
Xue Mu felt happy after hearing this.
He then tentatively said: "Miss Zhao must also know many young ladies."
"No, no, no, my father is just the director of the Ministry of Industry." Zhao Ruoli was about to put down the hook.
When Xue Mu heard this, he became interested: "Oh? Your Majesty is an official?"
"Yes." Zhao Ruoli nodded.
She continued: "These days, he goes out early and comes back late. He doesn't know what he is busy with, and he doesn't have time to care about me, so I went out to the teahouse to play for a while today."
Xue Mu also helped explain: "Your father must be busy with government affairs. After all, the Ministry of Industry must also have a lot of work."
"Master Xue also understands officialdom?"
"I don't know, I just heard it in the story book." Xue Mu naturally did not dare to reveal his true identity.
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Zhao Ruoli unleashed her ultimate move: "Recently, I heard dad say that they seemed to be studying the Cangzhou flood, and then one of the Imperial Academy's priests came up with a method of beaming water to attack sand, which surprised dad and the others."
Hearing this, Xue Mu felt happy inside.
He told Xiao Xun about this method of attacking sand with a beam of water.
If the floods are really cured in the future, a monument will be built for him at least.
Unfortunately, only Xiao Xun knew that Xue Mu had thought of this method.
Everyone else thought it was Xiao Xun himself who proposed it.
[That’s all, everything is for the people of Daqing Dynasty. 】
[Let’s erect a monument for him. 】
Xue Mu spent a full two seconds comforting himself.
At this time, I saw Zhao Ruoli calling out in person: "Mr. Xue, I see that you have an extraordinary conversation. I must have good literary accomplishments. Do you think the method of beaming water and attacking sand is useful?"
Xue Mu naturally replied: "It should be useful."
"Master Xue knows how to use water to attack sand?"
"Literally speaking, it should be to tighten the river channel and use the momentum of the water to impact the sediment at the bottom of the river bed, thereby achieving the purpose of dredging and preventing floods." Xue Mu explained.
Zhao Ruoli nodded immediately: "Yes, that's it. My father said so too. Mr. Xue is really powerful."
She pretended to sigh: "If it is really effective, then the flood in Cangzhou will be solved."
At this time, Xue Mu said: "The flood in Cangzhou has been solved, but this only applies to the downstream areas of the river, such as Cangzhou and other places."
"But in areas like the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, it cannot be implemented."
Hearing this, Zhao Ruoli's eyes lit up.
She looked at the invisible Xue Mu in front of her and became curious.
"Mr. Xue, how can I see you?"
Xue Mu replied: "Because of the continuous flow of sediment, it is impossible to transport all the sediment into the sea just by using water to attack the sand. Some of the sediment is bound to be deposited in the downstream river."
"Local breaches and diversions still occur continuously, and the effect of storing the Huaihe River and brushing the Yellow River is not ideal, because the Yellow River is strong and the Huaihe River is weak. After the Huaihe River is impounded, the submerged area of the Huaihe River Basin will be expanded, which will threaten the safety of the middle and upper reaches."
After listening to what Xue Mu said, Zhao Ruoli firmly believed in one thing.
This person in front of me.
This is the person she is looking for.
I recommend a book "Fairy, please help me live forever". It was written by a good friend. It has 500,000 words and is worth killing~~
Also, I feel like I haven’t received the 5,000-coin reward from the little guy K Jie for a long time. I cried to death.
